REP. HERNANDEZ. Almighty Father, Your Son ourLord, once told us:

Whoever hears these sayings of mine and does themwill be like a wise man who built his house upon a rock.The rains descended, the oods came, the windows blew

and beat upon the house and it fell not, for it was founded

upon a rock.But whoever hears these saying of mine, but fails to dothem, will be like a foolish man who built his house uponthe sand. The rains descended, the oods came, the windows

blew and beat upon that house. The house fell, and great wasthe fall of it.

Lord, I implore you to help us build this house.On faith, to shield us from the temptation of corruption

and danger of apathy;On industry and diligence, to help us make the most out

of the short three years that lie ahead of us;On wisdom, to help us discern what is right, what is just,

and what is best for our economy and our nation; andOn charity and selessness, to keep us always reminded

that we are here NOT for personal gains or political power,but as humble servants and unyielding protectors for ourconstituents.

Amen.
